SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HIGH EFFICIENCY FILTERING AND REMOVAL OF AIRBORNE PATHOGENS FROM A VOLUME OF GAS

A system and method for removing unwanted particles and pathogens, including but not limited to viruses, from a volume of gas. The system exhibits low resistance to air flow, allowing a high volume flow and rate of gas volume to be processed. Cold surfaces reduce the temperature of incoming gas caus...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A system and method for removing unwanted particles and pathogens, including but not limited to viruses, from a volume of gas. The system exhibits low resistance to air flow, allowing a high volume flow and rate of gas volume to be processed. Cold surfaces reduce the temperature of incoming gas causing condensation of water from the gas. The condensate contains unwanted particles and pathogens that have been removed from the volume of gas. The condensate is caused to pass over heated surfaces that comprising a hydrophobic coating, and also comprising catalytic surfaces with anti-viral coatings to neutralize contagions. Micro-spray nozzles, which may incorporate ionization, may be utilized to spray collected water onto the heated surfaces where the contagion may be utilized. The system may comprise multiple stages. The system provides better contagion neutralization and higher flow rates than prior art systems while using less energy, and producing less noise.
